The Order Meets in Philadelphia, Its Birthplace. - POWDERLY MAKES AREPORT Declaring the Order to Be In Good Condition And Denying the Alleged Catholic Conspiracy. T."Ii e Qomllan of Monrj, III Iteport Favoring (.old, Silver and Paper Prospect That Ihr Trouble at 1'ittbure with the Amalgamated Amhoiutlou Will He Settled The (ontlltions of llulae. ; PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14. The yeven'teenth ennual convention of the Knights of Labor met at Industrial hall, this city, at 10:00 tliLs morning. Nothing but routine business was transacted during the morning session. Dr. A. H. Plcuf. master workman of diftrit assembly No. 3, Philadelphia, delivered an address of welcome. To th!. Mr. Powderly responded briefly, manifesting his pleasure at being received by the loi-nl head of the order. referring: pleasantly to Philadelphia as the city that give birth to 'Independence ar.d to the organization of the knights. The committee n credentials then reported and discussion on th matters broug-ht up by them ennsum"d the entire morning. There was some difference of opmion about the afoeptancs of.th credentials of a half- j dozen from isolated districts made up of local unattached unions, but nil were favorably passed upon. The afternoon s'sion was devoted to hearing a n port of (General Master Workman Fondeily. Two Inmrs were (inhumed in reading the document and at its conclusion Mr. Powderly received applause. The report denied that the ord-r was retrograding and asserteJ that the order was in possession of statistics to show that the organization was prosperous. It denied emphatically that the Knights of Labor or Its chief are conspiring with the heads of the catholic church in this country to subvert the national government. It extols pope Leo XIII and says U.at even those who belong to no church will say that no better friend to humanity ever occupied the papal chair. It characterizes the state national guard as a standing army and .says that the militia is a drain upon the workmen and a friend to the capitalist in time of trouble. It also urges that the move-men; to establish colonies in the t-'outh be pushed forward. Mr. Powderly says very little upon the subject of Immigration except to deplore their settlement in large cities of the Kat. The report favors a trinity of money, gold, silver and paper, and is in favor of silver coinage in the ratio of IS to 1. It concludes with a statement that there is no doubt hut that the action of the Knizhts of Labor in demanding the repeal of the Sherman net had great Influence. There was nothing In the prcxtc dines to indicate that the convention would be marked by anybitter personalitifs as anticipated. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1". A fight was begun in tr-day's session of th Kniht of Lal-or convention between the Hayes and Powderly factions, which Is likely to continue with bitterness during the remainder of the session. Tht members of the ordr-r are endeavoring by every meajis in their power to keep the detchs from the publi-, but enough has btren learned to complete the story of the d ty s proceedings. The morning session was consumed In routine business and the appointment of standing com-, mit tees for the ensuing year by tleneral Master Workman Powderly. Lr.te in the afternoon General Treasurer Haes presented a report of the financial affairs of the order for the yar just passed, in which he flatly accused the general executive board with having misappropriated all or part of the fund subscribed for the benefit of the strikers at Homestead and Coeur D'Alene. This report, which was a direct fling at the Powderly faction, became the subject of an acrimonious debate, in which both parties indulged in almost unlimited abuse of one another.A report was also presented by the general executive committee, the exact nature of which cannot be learned, but it la understood that counter accusations are made in it against what Is known as the Hayes faction. Grand Master Workman Powderly is engaged tonight in marshaling his forces from all parts of the country preparatory to a big fight which is expected to take place tomorrow. It Is said that he has summoned his ancient enemies, Robert Buchanan and Jehu Morrison, to his assistance, and that they will come hare and try and reconcile the warring elements. Hayes's report shows that 53.616.11 had been received for the Homestead and Coeur d'Alene affairs and 1190.51 for the defense cf Dempsey. The amount that was paid out to the Homestead and Couer d'Alene strikers was J907.20. or J2.7Ö8.M less than had been received for the purpose. The order received for the fiscal year ending on that date $51,817,60, while the expenses amounted to $52,558.70. From the preceding year, however, there was a balance of SS65.37, which enabled the order to finish the fiscal year with $424.30 in the treasury. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 16. The row In the ranks of the Knights of Labor, which started last night with the filing of the report of Grand Treasurer Hayes, was continued with great bitterness .today and tonieht. There are no evidences of an amicable settlement.. This morning's session of the convention was taken up with routine business. In the aft?rnoon very bitter addresses were made by A. W. Wright and John Devlin of the general board, disclaiming the charges. Mr. Wright accused Mr. Hayes of having a false system of bookkeeping and said that If BETTER Tgiasnm THAN PILLS. Take Simmon3 Liver Regulator, a mild laxative and a tonic to tho digestive organs that also tones up the system. Pleasant to take and no griping. It is nature's remedypurely vegetable, and gives the ?tiickest relief from Constipation, Jiliousness, Sick Headache and Dyspepsia.

The many, who live better than others and enjoy life more, with less ertenditure, by more promptly adapting the world's best products to the needs cf physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in tho remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect laxative ; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation.

He intimated very strongly that Mr. Hay s bad been carried away by his enmity to the general master workman to the extent of deliberately falsifying the accounts so as to mislead the delegates. Mr. Delvin continued in . the same strain, reviewing the circumstances attending the knights' assistance to the Couer d'Alene and Homestead strikes, and said that even all the money col lected had not !e n sent them; th balance was simply held as a loan to tho organization to be used hereafter as a part of the strike fund. Iteoltillou Referred. At the morning session the following resolutions were referred to the appropriate sub-committees. Recommending political action by members in the interest of organized labor. Advocating the restriction of immigration so as to shut out undesirable persons. That the saloon clause of the constitution which prohibits saloonkeepers from becoming members of the order be modified so that barkeepers may be admitted under certain conditions. Concerning the relations of the order with several establishments upon which boycotts have been declared. Favoring the Swiss method of legislation or initiative and referendum on political action. On the question of the amalgamation of all labor bodies into one jKjwetful organization. Providing that the general officers be selected from the four parts of the country North. South. East and West. On tho special work in New Hngland and providing for the .consolidation of the order therein to one district. Urging the enforcement of the contract labor law. Asking for an Increase in the pay of the letter carriers. On the organization of the women shirt workers. Protesting against the Comstock law (allowing agents of the society for the suppression of vice to open the mail) as unjust. On the organization of the coopers, on the extension of the jurisdiction of district assembly No. 147, including Albany, N. Y. For the better government of Isolated locals not attached to any assembly. Providing for the organization of a political body, to be known as the industrial army. When the assembly adjourned in the evening the delegates were as non-committal as on previous days. The scene in the hotel corridors was not s animated as usual, the delegates as ä rule seeking the seclusion of the upper floors or privacy of committee rooms. Members of the executive board gathered In Congressman Davis's room, where they were closeted for an hour. Members of the finance committee were secreted in Mr. Hayes's room with a guard on tha door. Here for two hours they were engaged in scanning his accounts. Subsequently it was stated that the finance committee met and agreed that the charges were not well founded. llnyen May lie Forced Out. It is understood that Mr. Powderly will occupy the floor of the convention all tomorrow and then the report of the finance committee will be presented. The executive board, it Is Bald, will then formally demand Mr. Hayes's resignation. One of the members of the board said this evening: "If the charges are dismissed and the counter charges maintained, a general officer not a member of the general board will be forced to resign." Mr. Hayes, it paid, will have documentary evidence to back up his charges before the general assembly tomorrow. A strong effort is being made to save the organization in order to make it a pivot in the propsed consolidation with othier labor organizations. That Mr. Powderly aims to be the head of the amalgamated orders there Is no doubt. One of the leading knights said tonight that the outcome of this assembly would be the beginning of the greatest movement for organized labor that this country ever saw. Whether or not Mr. Powderly will be the head of the movement he could not pay, but he did not think that any one man would apain possess the power once enjoyed by Powderly and he did not think it would be for the good of the organization to have so much power vested in ona head. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17. The fourth day of the Knights of Labor general assembly was the liveliest yet. General Master Workman Powdtrly made a scathing denunciation of the methods of certain men in the order and a general denial of the charges made by SecretaryTreasurer Hayes. He talked for a long time about the state of the order and Its future prospects. Other members made things lively by declartrtg that the stories printed In two of the Philadelphia morning papers were lies made out of whole cloth. Their statements were challenged by several of the opposing faction, who said there was a great deal of truth in the stories. This debate was so long and so animated that the general master workman did not start his speech until nearly 12 o'clock. As usual, the meeting was held behind closed doors and the reporters were referred to a A. S. Worsley of Heaver Dam. Ky., editor of the Kentucky Industrialist, and a member of the press committee. Mr. WorsHey said the greater part of the time this morning was taken up with the work of correcting the minutes of the past three days. The only question of Interest up to this morning in the Opinion of the press committee was a proposed change in the Constitution by which delegates shall hereafter be elected by popular vote Instead of from central organizations as

at present. The new plan is favored by mauy, but is opposed by come, and no action was taken upon it. In the afternoon Master Workmin Powderly resumsd his address. He called to mind a number of alleged violations of rules by some of the delegates. He said very plainly that some one was divulging the secret deliberations of the assembly both to individuals and newspapers and recommended that measures be adopted by the delegates in person who were not guilty of any such violations to endeavor t have the practice stopped. This created r.o little comment and the usual protestations of innocence from all. Mr. Powderly also denounced the charges made by Secretary-Treasurer Hayes as absolutely and unqualifiedly false. He said that there had been no misapplication of funds donated for the relief of the strikers at Homestead end that each and every act cf the executive board was open to the Inspection of the delegates to the general assembly, lie explained where and how all the money said to have been misapplied was used, lie then appealed to the general assembly and asked If they were not satisfied with hin explanation. He intimated that charges anl false reports were given to newspaper representatives by persons who had a grievance, reul or fancied, against the members of the executive board, and in unmeasured terms 'denounced such proceedings as being unworthy of a knight and a gentleman. On his views looking toward the amalgamation of the knights with the kindred organizations, he elaborated quite extensively. He stated that he had the personal assurance from officials of several of the large labor organizations that they would take immediate steps to set the matter properly before their respective associations. A committee wus appointed to confer on the amalgamation Idea and held a secret session tonight. In the morning it will make its report. Populist Congressman Davis is authority for the statement that some action of general interest will be taken by the assembly tomorrow. The committee on finance, he said, will make its report, in which not a little public interest has been manifested because of the alleged misapplication of funds. Consolidation May Win. A meeting was hold tonight for the purpose of considering ways and means for the amalgamation of all the existing labor organizations. It is asserted that representatives from all the large bodies of workingmen were present and that plans were formed, which, carried out, will bring about the consolidation. Those present are said to represent a membership of from Tr.n.OOO to l.ooo,000. The result of the meeting will depend upon the action the general assembly may take, but as the meeting was attended by representative knights close to Mr. Powderly. it is claimed that the grneral assembly will favor the movement of amalgamation. This mo emer.t, it is claimed, has been worked un for six months and is the

j result of Mr. Powderly's effort to secure j a unification of labor interests. Just wnai organizations ouisne 01 me Knights of Labor and the Federation of Labor were represented could not be ascertained, it being explained that the representatives at the meeting, while being men of influence in their organizations, were not officially authorized to act. If the Knights of Labor representatives at the meeting have any say, however. Mr. Powderly. it was stated, will occupy a prominent executive position in the new order. The matter will be brought before the general assembly tomorrow and the friends of Mr. Powderly think that they can carry It through. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 19. The committee-on finance of the general assembly of the Knights of Labor has been in session nearly all day at official headquarters. Durinsy the session both Mr. Powderly, against whom serious charges h-ive been preferred, and Mr. Hayes, who in his capacity of secretary-treasurer made the charges, appeared before tho committee and answered the questions put to him in relation to receipts and expenditures. It has been semiofficially stated that this committee would make its report on Tuesday, at which, time sensational features are expected. Mr. Powderly was seen last nisht, but on the plea of his delicate position declined to discuss the charges. He promised to speak freely before the assembly adjourns. In speaking of the much-discussed amalgamation scheme, he said that it had not. yet assumed any such proportions as an amalgamation movement. It was simly a plan to have a congenial understanding between all trades unions. Congressman Davis, who is a member of the executive board, said that he was freer to talk than Mr. Powderly, and that he had not the slightest hesitancy in saying that the charges made by Mr. Hayes would not be sustained. The Amalgamated Wniee Scale. PITTSBURG, Nov. 14. Manufacturers in this vicinity feel very much encouraged over the prospects that a settlement of the trouble between them and the Amalgamated association may soon be reached. While the Amalgamated officials refuse to give an opinion as to what will be done at the extraordinary convention of the asoclation next Thursday the manufacturers are hopeful that owing to the continued depression in business a reduction in wages will be conceded. President Garland, when asked what matters would be considered at the convention, said: . "The primary object of the convention is to consider the conditions of business. It was brought about by the fact that a large number of nllls are idle and others that are maklr t i feeble attempt to run are not doing much business. The question which we will consider will be the scales. We will compare notes and then probably determine what course It is best to pursue. The $4.75 rate for puddling was never considered in conference. I do not deny that the rate was discussed informally. The manufacturers hold out for the $4.."0 rate, and said that. If we had anything further to offer they were willing to consider it. We, in turn, adhered to the $" rate, and said we were willing to consider anything further they had to offer. The convention was then called to consider any plans whereby a settlement might be reached. It can be safely stated that the $4.75 rate will be considered by the convention, and some go so far as to predict that this rate will be agreed upon. There are about a dozen mills in the Pittsburg district that have signed the $3 amalgamated scale. These mills will be entitled to the reduction in puddling if any is decided upon at the convention. All Pittsburg manufacturers it is thought will be satisfied with the $4.75 rate, and this rate will be paid for puddling at nonunion as well as union mills if accepted by the association. It is not so certain, however, that the $4.75 rate will satisfy the Youngstown manufacturers, as they are still firm for $4.50."

Four of Her ' Crevr Survived In the Heavy Sea In an Open float for )Uny Hoars Intil Almost at Land, AVhen Their Frail Craft Capsized and All lint the Chief Mate Were Lout LI feSavlnjx Crews l nable to Do Much. Work Oilier Report of Ulnanter. LONDON. Nov. 19. Up to Sunday morning at least eighty lives are known to have been lost during the gale which has swept over the Uritlsh coast for forty-eight hours past, and In addition the crews of several boats are still missing. The news arriving every hour records further fatalities and details the great damage done by the storm. It is generally agreed that the weather which has just visited the coast of England. Scotland and Ireland Is the most severe in many years. Dispatches received from Panoff say the seashore for thirty miles is strewn with wreckage. The schooner Pioneer was the first vessel stranded Friday evening. She was carried over the rocks and cast on the sand. Her crew was saved. At Grange mouth, the Earkentine lJettie was wrecked on the rocks, but the crew was saved. An unknown steamer was next wrecked on the head land and soon went to pieces. Wreckage inscribed "Grangemouth" has been washed ashore with a quantity of internal fittings, life-boats, etc., und it is also reported that several fishing boats have been lost off the same spot. In Lough Feyle two wrecks are reported. The A. C. Heane from Mirlamlchl, New Brunswick, which stranded at Nelin Head. Donegal, lot her captain and seven of her crow. The Swedish seamen who were shipped on the A. C. lieane were saved. The barque Lancefleld is reported ashore near Moviile. Weather Still Severe. Owing to the severity of the weather the railroads and telegraph lines in the north of Ireland are virtually stopped Three vessels have been wrecked near Leight causing the loss, however, of only on? life, the other endangered seamen being rescued by the life boats. Some idea of the force of the gale can be gathered from the fact that two heavy railroad engines were blown off the track near Inverness, blocking all traffic north and necessitating the dis patch of two wrpeking trains to clear the track. The wreckage trains have not been heard from, so it Is supposed the work has been impeded by a fall of snow. Three yachts and two coasting vessels are reported ashore near Greenock. Only four of the twelve members of the crew of the steamer Cintra, which was wrecked near St. Ives, Cornwall, escaped. The coast guard has bven on the alert nicht and day all along the beach since Friday evening, and many exciting rescues by means of the rocket apparatus are reported. During these rescues the coast guardsmen brought ashore the seamen of the Vulture, the Hessie and four men saved from the Cintra, Late on Saturday evening the steamer Rosedale entered the harbor of St. Ive". but after letting go her anchors, both chnlr.s were carried away and she dilfted towar'd th-i rocks. The coast guardsmen manned their life boat and were preparing to go to the rescue when the Rosedale stranded on the rocks and they with difficulty managed to rescue the crew by means of the rocket line. Tremendous damage has been done at West Hartlepool by the storm, which will cause much loss and consequent suffering to the miners of that locality Considerable anxiety is expressed for the safety of the crews of a hundred fishing boats which were last seen being driven northward by the force of the gale. From all parts of Ireland where there Is telegraphic communication come reports of the severity of the gale, which has been accompanied ther by a heavy snow storm. Several fatalities and numerous cases of injury are reported at Waterford, Carriek, Ferguson, Belfast, Newry and Skibbereen Hundreds of fishing boats are missing and numtrous wrecks are reported in addition, and harbors are filled with weather-bound vessels. Much loss has also been caused to live stock, and considerable damage has been done to houses and produce. The landing staq;e at Londonderry has vanished and the steam erry has sunk. The Hampshire's Wreck. During the height of the fury of the gale . yesterday evening the steamer Hampshire was driven ashore In St. Ives bay and was pounded to pieces near Guemard's head, twenty-one of the Hampshire's crew being drowned, only one man managing to reach the shore alive. The Hampshire belonged to Glasgow and was of 2.G97 registered tons. She left Liverpool on Thursday last, and was going to Cardiff for coal. She was commanded by Capt. Weir. Such was the fury of the gale she encountered that the steamer became almost unmanageable from the outset, and the A Weak Digestion strange as it may seem, is caused from a lack of that which is never exactly digested fat. The greatest fact in connection with Scott's Emulsion appears at this point it is partly digested fat and the most weakened digestion is quickly strengthened by it.

boats were torn from the stanchions to which a spare crank head was fastened, loosening the latt?r and causing it to penetrate the ship's side. The position of the Hampshire was soon most critical, and Capt. Weir decided to run for St. Ives bay. When entering the bay the steamer began to sink. This was at 5:30 p. m. and the sole survivor of her crew, Chief Mate Swanson, and four others got into a boat which was Immediately swept from the ship's side, and as the boat was driven? away from the steamer the chief mate says he saw her settling down by the stern and pounding near Guemard's head. The chief mate adds that when he last saw the Hampshire there was a boat alongside of her, and some of the crew were making their way into her in the hope of escaping, but it is believed that they were all drowned. After a fearful night of exposure to wind and wave in the open boat, during which the chief mato and his four companions were nearly swamped over a hundred times, they reached land about 5 o'clock in the morning and considered themselves lucky in having escaped with, their lives. Almost nfe. Suddenly, however, just as the seamen were within easy reach of land a more than usually heavy sea struck the boat, capsizing it an d throwing its five ocupants into the raging sea. Then followed a terrific battle for life during which one after another, four of the five struggling men were sucked downwrd to their death, only Chief Mate Swanson having strength enough to swim ashore and he landed in a condltlono f utter exhaustion. He cried loudly for help which finally attracted the attention of a coast guardsman who came to the half drowned man's assistance. Chief Mate Swanson upon being questioned regarding the fate of his four companions in the boat said that he did not see them after they were all thrown into the water, but he added their shriek could be heard and the waves swept over and over them. Swanson was hampered with the heavy clothlnghe woi" and as the boat seemed to disappear soon after it was capsized he was utterly unable to render any

assistance to his unfortunate companions. The chief mate's head and limbs were badly cut and his whole body was severely contused by being clashed against the rocks. A life boat from the Hampshire and the body of one of the sailors, still warm, were stranded off St. Ives head this afternoon, leaving pe-ople to believe that this man succeeded in clamoring upon the the overturned boat and that he must have been very near shore when swept from his hold and drowned. Rescue of Seamen. The guardsmen of St. Ives have already since the commencement of the gale rescued forty seamen and officers. Late thii evening another body was washed ashore from the Hampshire. Owing to the severity of the storm the mail boats running between Dover and Calais have been compelled to suspend their trip, which is a very unusual occurrence as these vessels venture acroes the channel in very heavy weather. Many vessels have sought shelter badly damaged under the lee of the high, jutting cliffs of the channel, and at least two vessels are known to have perished on the Goodwin sands. The Deal life boat went to the assistance of the crew of one of these vessels, but the life boat men were compelled to return without having been able to rescue any of the endangered seamen, as both vessels disappeared before the life boats could set along side of them. The steamer Lucania, from New York to Liverpool, was unable to land her passengers at the latter port until today. Nine vessels are reported stranded between Grimsby and Cleethorps on Saturday, and two of the,se were dashed to pieces during the night. So fearful was the sea that the life boat was unable to leave the harbor, though its crew made several attempts to do so and lost their coxwain during these attempts. the life boatmen being crushed between the pier and the boat. Several steamers and a number of sailing vessels are reported in distress off Spurnhead, at the entrance of the number river, Yorkshire. The Wilson line steamship Duffalo is reported at Grimsby being unable to proceed on account of the furious wind and sea. The Ranisgate fishing fleet was caught in the gale, and nearly all were badly battered by the sea, several of them being unable to make harbor. Two of the Ueet were stranded and their crews were rescued by the lifeboats. Schooner Pounded to Pieces. The schooner Wicklasses has been wrecked near Yarmouth, and five of the rew were drowned, while the boat lay on a ledge of rocks pounding to pieces in full view of thousands of spectators, who were utterly unable to be of any assistance to the drowning men. It was impossible to launch the life boat on account of the tremendous sea dashing upon the coasts and the schooner was too far out to be reached by the rocket line. Thus, the people on shore saw the poor sailors drowned one by one, while thousands stood praying for them upon the shore. Considerable anxiety is felt for the safety of the large Yarmouth herring fleet, as well as for the safety of a number of Scotch fishing boats, which had Just started for home when the gale burst over the coast and which has not been heard from since. The Lowest reft life boat rescued the crews of three schooners yesterday and today saved twelve men from drowning, putting to sea in the face of a blinding snow storm and bitterly thrashing sea. Reports from the Tyne say that much damage has been done to shipping there and that several small boats have been sunk. There have also been many cases of personal Injury by falling chimneys and other such accidents. Two tourist steamers on Lake Wlndemere foundered during the gale, but no lives are reported to have been lost. Only the Mate Saved. The Norwegian three-masted vessel Armie was driven ashore by the fearful sea and wind prevailing and began to pound to pieces on the rocks, the seas making a clean sweep over her and washing the crew overboard one after another, only the mate being saved. The fishing boat Vine during the gale capsized entirely off Scarborough, and was lost to sight while thousands of people saw the crew struggle terribly in the waves and sink after being completely exhausted. Two soldiers attempted to cress Portsdown hill near Portsmouth yesterday evening and were found dead In the snow today. The Hollyhead coast guardsmen at risk to themselves succeeded in rescuing twenty-seven men from five vessels which have been stranded there today. The Vine, which capsized off Scarborourh. had a crew of tight men on board, all being drowned. The gale continues today, and reports tonight say that there are no sUns of it abating. It Is now said that i vesls were stranded off Hollyhead, and that two of these were afterward floated. The others are expected to be complete wrecks. In addition six vessels have b?en seen showing signs of distp's. and two of the latter have already Plundered. The steamer wrecked off Han ft is believed to be the Moray, as much wreckage from a steamer bearing that name branded or painted upon It has been washed ashore. The trawler Dauntless has been wrecked at Downreay, near Thurse, Caithness, Scottland, and seven of her crew of eight were drowned. Several other trawlers have been driven ashore near the same spot and are expected to become total wrecks. Two Hundred lleported Dead. Midnight The midnight reports received make the total number of deaths from drowning during the gale 1S4, and this is without reckoning the crews of several vessels which have been seen to founder off the coast, and the total fatalities, Irrespective of the numerous

crews of missing fishing fleets, is estimated at quite 20u, according to the most conservative estimates. It is impossible at this hour to give in detail the nu'nber and description of the wrecks or the damage done to houses and rvoperty. but the latesi reports are tht the gale now shows some signs of abatement. The packet boat Killarney from Milford arrived at Cork today and reports that when fifteen miles out on Friday morning she sighted the disabled National line steeiner Helvetia showing signs of distress. The Killarney stood by the Helvetia for five hours, but was unable, owing to the tremendous sea, to take her In tow, and was obliged to leave her to her fate. Dispatches from Callais say that a terrific gale has been blowing there and that telegraphic communication is interrupted. It is added that twenty-two fishing boats have already been driven ashore, and that thirteen fishermen have been drowned. Reports received from all parts of the north of France say the most severe weather has prevailed along that coast and that there have been many wrecks near Havre, Cherbourg and Le Camp. Telegraph communication throughout England is interrupted.

SHOT BY PEIXOTO'S ORDER. FATD OF THE EDITOR OF A IHtAziliax M:wsPAii:n. The Joarn.nl Stronajljr Opponed to the President and Therefore Incurred His Dlapleaaure Mello Proclaim Prince Pedro Emperor of Drazll. LONDON. Nov. IS. A dispatch from Lisbon received here today says that a messenger who has arrived there from Brazil announces that Senor Jose Patrocinlo, the editor of a newspaper, who has been continually and strongly opposed to President Peixoto, has been shot by order of the president. The messenger adds that among the killed during the recent fighting in Brazil was Col. Pedro Alfonso, commander of the cadets of Santa Cruz. The news received here from Madrid to the effect that Admiral de Mello has proclaimed Prince Pedro emperor of Brazil Is much commented upon and confirmation or denial of the report Is anxiously expected. The news, however, is generally accepted as being correct. The Exchange telegraph company says that after Admiral de Mello had proclaimed Prince Pedro as emperor he put to sea with several of his ships in order to Intercept President Telxoto's transports which are conveying supplies of men, ammunition and provisions to the existing government at Rio de Janeiro. It is not believed, however, that the Insurgent admiral is certain of intercepting the transports, as the point of debarkation of the munitions of war is believed to have been kept a secret. A dispatch from London received here this afternoon says that a new proclamation of Prince Pedro as emperor of Brazil is not yet confirmed, but, it is added, the report is generally believed at Lisbon in view of Admiral de Mello's known strong monarchist tendencies.

SPRING FIELD, 111., Nov. 19. Charlie Willis, thirteen j'ears of age, was shot and killed tonight while being initiated into a secret society composed of youngsters whose ages run from twelve to fifteen years. The society was called the "S. S. S. S.," the letters standing for "Seven Secrets, Silent Shades." The boys, whose minds had evidently been inflamed by blood and thunder literature, had a cave In the outskirts cf the city, the walls of the retreat being hung with pistols, old muskets, a few swords and other warlike arrangement. Today Lewis Barker and Thomas Winter, two leading spirits in the S. S. S. S. invited young Willis ti join the .band. He consented, and was formally initiated after being blind-folded. When the ceremony was about over, youug Barker pointed a pistol at the Wi!Hs boy, with the intention of scaring him. .iust as the bandage was Jerked from the eyes of Willis Barker pulled the trigger and Willis fell with a bullet close to his heart. He was quickly carried lb &h adjoining house but died Inside of twenty minutes. The entire S. S. S. H. was arrested, but most of them declined to say anything concerning the killing as to do so was contrary to their oaths. Some of them, however, were frightened into telling enough of the occurrence to enable the coroner's Jury to bring In a verdict of accidental death. Young Barker, after the first shock of having killed his companion wore off, seemed to regard himself as quite a hero. CraeUed the Safe for S.T.'tO. IRON MOUNTAIN. Mich., Nov. 15.
